The St Omer Cemetery Witch Grave

The Witch Grave is a unique, spherical gravestone belonging to several members of the Barnes family of the now non-existent town of St Omer, Illinois. Aside from the interesting shape, it features several other anomalies that has been the source of many tails and legends with regards to those buried underneath.

Local folklore about the grave claims that one such occupant, a woman named Caroline Barnes, was a witch, and that she put a curse on the grave that she would rise from the dead on the anniversary of her death. To keep this curse from coming true, her date of death was listed on the headstone as February 31st, 1882, a date that is quite impossible for that month.
